Thank you for the Latin plural of 'formula.' Note to sportswriters: it's 'two stadia,' not 'two stadiums.'

Ellis, Bernard--Thank you for the Moakler suggestion. I called and spoke to a young Moakler woman (was it Christie?) and she was very gracious. She was familiar with this website, reacted warmly when I mentioned your names, and was gratified at your recommendations. I explained to her my modest needs and she said if I called her in advance she would have the chemistry ready when I got there. The price was right, the conversation was pleasant, and I bet the service will be excellent.

 

John--I was referring to the Wolf outlet in Conyers, but even their main store on 14th in Atlanta sends out rollfilm now. I would be surprised if the Gainsville outlet stays as it was. I am now looking forward to calling Moakler when they open at 8:30, rolling down to the North Av. Trade School (Ga. Tech) area about 10:00, buzzing over to KEH to save shipping on a small order, heading over to the Dekalb Farmers' Market (where the octopus is fresh and the cafeteria is multi-cultural), burning a little film and swinging back by the lab for the negatives at 2:00. I'll miss both rush hours and be scanning before the sun goes over the yardarm. Go ahead and take a day off, John. They don't make a hearse with a luggage rack.

For a couple of years I've been using a small local Wolf Photo store to machine

process (no prints) 120 C-41 rollfilm with a two or three hour turnaround. The

chain has 'upgraded' their equiptment and no longer offers that service.

 

Does anyone know of a photo lab in the Atlanta area that can offer one day

service for color negative rollfilm?

I am not autistic and I have similar problems at times with technical writing. I tend to favor the old fashioned manual cameras because I am unwilling to cope with the complicated metering patterms and various options afforded by modern electronic cameras. I use such cameras, though, to good effect by practising and ignoring options of little value to me. I love wide lenses so my inability to quickly find the DOF preview button on my EOS camera doesn't bother me. Your digital camera will give you immediate feedback and I'll wager that if you keep on trying you'll learn to love it.

Rene--a shot of both visual and academic interest. The window trim echoes an ornate style of door trim which I have installed. The casings (side pieces) miter out to a double width near the top, but without the little segmented arch at the head as in your photo. The little brackets under the sill emulate door plinths (blocks under casings.} It's as if a servant trimmed his window to resemble a manor door. Might I ask what country it is from?

Savas--My Canon A-1 from the early eighties has that option.

I used the off camera cord 2 and a stroboframe to move my 420ex flash

8" or so to the left of my 300D lens mount. When I focus at 1 or 2

feet the AF assisst on the strobe keeps unfocusing the lens because

of the parallax. I considered taping over the AF assist lamp but

then considered a horrible explosion as my lens tried to focus on the

inside of the tape. Can the ST-E2 transmitter or the 550ex control

the AF assist function?

I have used Tamron to Leica R to EOS with success.

I have the glass but my only accessories are a Leica CIII and a Zenit 3M. At one time I had computed the total of tube extension needed to mount it and retain infinity focus. I planned to zone focus from f/8 down and cover up the framelines in a 135 viewfinder. Suffice to say the project is on the very back burner.

Et voila! Merci, Dave, merci beaucoup! I should have used the word EOS instead of Canon ln my searches. Incidentally the Canon USA telephone support line say the initials, "E-O-S." Thanks again.

Pardone moi! I meant the speedlite 420ex. Que un imbecile!

I was pleased with the price and delivery time I got on a 480ex

auction until I found the operating manual to be entirely in French.

Sacre Bleu! It doesn't seem to be online. Help!

Pentacians

I can't answer you Mamiya question, but I had some Pentacon and Ukranian glass that I liked and bought a Pentax 645 body from KEH. The P645 body has an integrated AE prism, motor winder, and came with a 120 film insert for less than $200. I bought a $20 adapter from Kiev Camera and bingo bango I was doing the tango.

Gorgeous, Andy. Location?

Actually David, I believe there is one Mamiya TLR lens with DOF preview. I don't think you can stop down the viewing lens on any other TLR though. It seems like Rollei would have added that feature to some version.

Sadly, the nukular powered batteries will corrupt your files. Think solar.

In beatnik vernacular a 'jones' was an addiction and 'jonesing' referred to heroin withdrawal and its attendant craving. I think the term can be cited in the works of his sweet swingin' triple hipness, Lord Buckley, 50's poet/comic.

Thank you all for enlightening me.

Thanks guys. The literature that came with my Drebel implied that the onboard was not a TTL flash but maybe I didn't read everything. I didn't think there was a pre-flash. None of by shoemount strobes passed trigger voltage muster (great strobe voltage site, Julian.) I consider optical triggers to be the safer alternative. I will try the FEL button tricks both filtered and unfiltered. I searched all around this question but y'all nailed it.

I was hoping to trigger an Olympus 310 flash with an optical trigger

and the 300D onboard flash. I put the lens on manual focus to

forestall the little low light focus light and shot a flash picture

in Manual mode. The slave fired but was not synched with the onboard

flash. In various modes I tried taking a flash picture of the

slave. It fired every time, but was not firing during exposure.

Could the fault be in the optical tigger or do I need to drop a

couple of hundred on a Canon flash?
